Luxuriously soft, satisfyingly chunky, and made from some of the finest wool Australia has to offer — Fiddlesticks Peppin 14 Ply Merino is a 100% Australian Fine Merino Superwash yarn that delivers everything you want from a premium bulky weight. Whether you're knitting a cosy winter sweater, a quick weekend blanket, a warm beanie, or a generous scarf, Peppin gives you the softness of fine merino with the speed and impact of a chunky yarn.
The 100% Australian Fine Merino composition is the heart of this yarn. Merino from Australia's Peppin region is renowned for its exceptional fineness and softness — the fibres are fine enough to sit comfortably against the skin without any of the scratchiness associated with coarser wools. It's naturally breathable and temperature-regulating, keeping the wearer warm without overheating, and has the natural elasticity that helps finished garments hold their shape and recover beautifully over time. The Superwash treatment means it's machine washable, making it a practical choice for garments and accessories that need to be easy to care for — a rare and welcome quality in a premium merino at this weight.
At 14 ply bulky weight on 6.5mm needles, Peppin knits up quickly and produces a fabric with wonderful warmth and body. The generous 100g ball with 97m means you get excellent coverage per ball, and the smooth, even spin gives good stitch definition for cables, textured patterns, and simple stocking stitch alike. The melange shades — Light Grey Melange, Mid Grey Melange, and Charcoal Melange — add a beautiful heathered depth that gives finished pieces a premium, considered look.
